Zenden

Zenden is a garden puzzle and decoration game about arranging objects in isometric landscapes. You place plants, rocks, water features and traditional structures, balancing their relationships and each garden’s constraints as you turn empty ground into a place for meditation.

Garden relationships

Each placement affects the surrounding garden. Similar items can create Unity, while contrasting types bring Variety; Spirit and Energy add further considerations. Each garden has its own terrain layout, palette and goals, which may ask you to bring related items together, add variety or fit a particular combination of features into limited space. Bonus goals offer further challenges in gardens you have already completed.

Shape the landscape

You paint terrain, build shrines, plant trees and rotate the view to consider your arrangement from another angle. Paths, rivers and bridges connect spaces and add spatial challenges, while structures can be positioned around features already present in the landscape. In Sandbox Mode, you can decorate without restrictions, revise your arrangements or start over.

Wildlife and details

Birds perch among the garden’s features, butterflies visit suitable habitats and fish leap from the water. Plants sway, water ripples and other small animated details bring activity to the spaces you create.
